These logs regularly end up in the Tax Court and are usually destroyed upon review.

Look at your competitors then adjust regularly.  

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.  

Because of the nature of a tax lien, it would be difficult to obtain financing from a commercial lender secured by the tax lien itself.  

He will be taking a leave of absence for the  year.Given the unforeseen nature of his health condition we would appreciate your assistance and consideration in addressing this situation.

You should have a good idea of every expense you have in your primary home, then add the STR specific:  (These are rough estimate numbers, depending on various factors)STR insurance - a special insurance that covers both the property and your liability, could be $2~4k in areas without natural disasters, could be more than $10k in some other areas.cleaning fee - approx. $50 per bedroom, so a 4-bedroom house will cost you about $150~200consumables - bathroom supplies, kitchen supplies, beverage supplies: $20~30 per week, depending on how much you providewear and tear - towels, linen, kitchen utensils, some furniture: $1000~2000 per yearRepairs/replacement for things that guests break or steal:  $1000~2000 per yearAlso, if your personal use is less than 14 days a year, the entire property's expense is deductible against STR income, but if you use more than 14 days, then you will have to calculate the proportion of how many days it's rented out vs how many days you or your family uses. 

Provide copies to all parties involved.This project-specific agreement works well for one-time jobs, but if you plan to work with subcontractors regularly, I highly recommend having an attorney draft a Master Services Agreement (MSA) for your business.

Natural appreciation usually takes holding the property for at least a few years (just depending on what the RE market does going forward).
